[PATCH] cfq-iosched: Respect ioprio_class when preempting

[Divyesh Shah]

In cfq_should_preempt(), we currently allow some cases where a non-RT request
can preempt an ongoing RT cfqq timeslice. This should not happen.
Examples include:

o A sync_noidle wl type non-RT request pre-empting a sync_noidle wl type cfqq
  on which we are idling.
o Once we have per-cgroup async queues, a non-RT sync request pre-empting a RT
  async cfqq.
